"That's right. It's boring."

Antoine Griezmann has spoken out over criticism of the French national team.

The French national soccer team, led by coach Didier Deschamps, will play Portugal in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 at the Folksparckstadion in Hamburg, Germany on the 6th (Korea time).



France is considered a favorite to win this tournament. There are many 'World Classes' such as Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid).

I opened the lid. France is not meeting expectations. He recorded one win and two draws in Group D. They won their first match 1-0 against Austria, but drew against the Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1). He scored only two goals in three games. Even so, he scored through an opponent's own fault and a penalty kick. In the round of 16, they narrowly won 1-0 against Belgium. Again, he won with his opponent's own goal.



British media Express said on the 3rd that `Griezmann is more interested in victory than pleasure.' Griezmann "It must be boring to watch, but that's it. But I won. You shouldn't be swayed just because you don't score a lot. We went to the quarterfinals."

Griezmann must play in the quarterfinals with one yellow card stacked. He said "I don't want to get a yellow card. I found out that there was a little issue with the referee's decision. But we are ready for any challenge."

Meanwhile, Deschamps reported Mbappe's condition ahead of the quarterfinals. Mbappe is playing with a mask due to a nasal injury. Deschamps says "Sweat haunts him. Your vision from the front is good, but your vision from the side is not good. But to protect him, you have to get used to it."
